Mid-Infrared imaging is vital for the study of a wide variety of astronomical phenomena, including evolved stars, exoplanets, and dust enshrouded processes such as star formation in galaxies. However, infrared detectors have traditionally been expensive and it is difficult to achieve the sensitivity needed to see beyond the overwhelming mid

In this article we present the Dark-photons&Axion-Like particles Interferometer (DALI), a novel experiment designed for the detection of photon-mixing cold dark matter in the microwave band between 6 and 60 GHz. DALI is a haloscope for the simultaneous search for axions, axion-like particles and dark photons, with a number of novelties that make it

We observed 51 sources in the Q-U-I JOint TEnerife (QUIJOTE) cosmological fields that were brighter than 1 Jy at 30 GHz in the Planck Point Source Catalogue (version 1), with the Very Large Array at 28-40 GHz, in order to characterize their high-radio-frequency variability and polarization properties. We find a roughly lognormal distribution of

Context. QSO B1420+326 is a blazar classified as a flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ). At the beginning of the year 2020, it was found to be in an enhanced flux state and an extensive multiwavelength campaign allowed us to trace the evolution of the flare. Aims: We search for very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from QSO B1420+326 during this

Galaxy evolution models are strongly underpinned by anchoring constraints made locally in the Milky Way. In this proposal, we aim to perform a pilot study toward providing a secondary local anchor in the form of a detailed mapping in element abundances of the stellar populations of the Andromeda galaxy, M31. Primarily, we will use NIRSpec

Context. Carbon stars have been, and still are, extensively studied. Given their complex internal structure and their peculiar chemical composition, they are living laboratories in which we can test stellar structure and evolution theories of evolved stars. Furthermore, they are the most relevant dust manufacturers, thus playing a crucial role in
